Here we go again. Can you give me one example of his military genius? What I saw in Iran and Kuwait were screwups both militarily and strategically.
I'll admit this to the poster of the article though. When I first heard the Bin Laden did it explanation after 9/11, I asked myself proof? I didn't hear much then and haven't heard much since. So my theory was that these guys self-organized. They didn't need Bin Laden and they didn't need Saddam, all they needed was some planning and some money (and not really much of either).
I have no proof for my theory, but it fits one fact very well, the fact that 9/11 wasn't uncovered in time to be prevented. Any planning or support involvement from overseas like from Bin Laden would have been intercepted. We allegedly tapped his cellphone and I think we would have intercepted other communication as well.
Have you checked the New York skyline lately?
